You might have sensed that we like fashion. Scrap that—we LOVE fashion. Fashion is our everything! Getting dressed should be a joy, and one of the things that make us happiest is finding a (somewhat rare) sustainable, affordable fashion gem. We’re big fans of shopping vintage, hiring fancy outfits for big events and rewearing the heck out of everything we buy (so much so that we have an entire franchise dedicated to finding out how our favourite influencers and experts get the most of our their clothes), but in general, there’s a lot more that the sustainable, affordable fashion market could offer, and…

By mid-afternoon, the team had seemingly painted fire onto the land, burning exactly where and what they wanted. The mature pines’ lower trunks were singed black, and the ground beneath them was charred and cleared of most of the tangled brush that had been there at the start of the day. Watching the team was like watching skilled artists at work—night and day from the chaotic infernos that usually make headlines.“When you’re watching a successful controlled burn, it can be really boring,” says Landau. “That can really reduce the fear factor.”The US Forest Service, created in large part to suppress…

Alexander Bardi-Spröwitz has seen more dissected ostriches than the average engineer. Twelve years ago the researcher, now at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, was attempting to design a legged robot based on bird biology. The trouble was that most biologists do not describe animal anatomy in engineering-friendly terms. “It’s not their goal to build a robot,” Bardi-Spröwitz notes. “It’s a bit frustrating for me as an engineer because I need certain types of information.” Then he met Monica Daley, a veterinary scientist then at the Royal Veterinary College in England, who offered him a postdoctoral…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Goodbye Never? I wanted to write something that spanned different decades. Something that captured love at different stages of our lives. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Goodbye Never, what would they be? No doubt, Lennon’s theme song would be “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child. Duke could have a whole album, but I’ve settled on: “More than Friends” by Jason Mraz and “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins from the Top Gun soundtrack. He’s a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps, but it still works.…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Azazel: The Search For Life After Death? I would say my own life inspired this story. I originally finished writing this book back in 2011, when I had a year left to go before I graduated with my B.A. in English. Frustrated at myself, for not knowing what to do with my degree, and for simply listening to people say that a college degree is all that I needed. I was upset at myself because I didn’t have a plan, didn’t know what to do after college, and because…

Scientists at Scripps Research have invented a way to image, across different tissues and with higher precision than ever before, where drugs bind to their targets in the body. The new method could become a routine tool in drug development. Described in a paper in Cell on April 27, 2022, the new method, called CATCH, attaches fluorescent tags to drug molecules and uses chemical techniques to improve the fluorescent signal. The researchers demonstrated the method with several different experimental drugs, revealing where — even within individual cells — the drug molecules hit their targets. “This method ultimately should allow us,…

The other thing the Evo Lite+ offers is better low-light performance. The Air 2S has a maximum ISO of 6,400 in manual video capture, or 1,600 if you’re shooting D-log. The Evo Lite+ can shoot ISO 48,000, thanks to a dedicated Night Mode. Now, that number might sound like a recipe for noisy, mostly useless video, but surprisingly, it’s not. Autel’s Dark Mode algorithm manages relatively crisp video without scene-ruining levels of noise, even in moonlight. That said, I have never actually flown a drone at night (other than to test this feature), so how useful this is will depend…
In 2021 Republican legislatures in 19 states passed 34 laws that restricted access to voting in more than a dozen different ways. And those are just the bills that succeeded; hundreds of other provisions, some still under consideration, were introduced nationwide. “The momentum around this legislation continues,” the Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks these efforts, wrote on its Web site. At least 165 restrictive voting bills were already on the docket for this year by mid-January. “These early indicators—coupled with the ongoing mobilization around the Big Lie (the same false rhetoric about voter fraud that drove [last] year’s unprecedented…

They would go on to appear in music videos like “I Fink U Freeky” and…

This week, NPR and several other major media outlets ran a story about how one Florida man chose to respond to book bans throughout his state. Chaz Stevens is a middle age white activist, known for doing some tongue-in-cheek protests. His latest involves petitioning Florida schools to remove the Bible from libraries because of its inappropriate content for minors. In addition to banning the Bible, his letter to school superintendents across the state asked for any books referencing the Bible to also be pulled. The intention behind this set of book challenges — humorous or not — garnered a lot…
Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings has revealed that the streamer is open to the possibility of lower-cost, ad-supported subscriptions to help boost the company’s growth. The news came during Netflix’s Q1 earnings interview, where Hastings revealed that the company is hoping to nail down its strategy for ad-supported streaming over the next year or two. “But think of us as quite open to us offering even lower prices with advertising as a consumer choice,” he said. For years, Netflix has been adamant about sticking to subscription-only plans; however, subscriptions have begun to slow in recent times. In fact, according to Variety,…
